Jalonta Freeman of Arlington, Texas was approached by a stranger at a gas station, selling what he claimed to be a brand new $800 iPad, for just $200. Freeman and her family did not want to miss out on an offer they thought seemed great, so they gave him cash for the tablet, and the man quickly drove away. When the package was finally opened, the Freeman family discovered the elaborately wrapped "iPad" was actually just a mirror about the size of a tablet. Freeman said she felt stupid, but learned a valuable lesson, and offered this advice, "Don't buy nothing on the streets from nobody." An Arlington police spokesperson said that crimes of this kind always increase leading up to Christmas. Last year, incidents similar to this were reported in several states.

@meanmiguel Come on man, you gonna buy something for the price of US$200 that in the market is sold for $800 and you wanna say she didn't buy knowing that IPAD was stolen? She tried to take advantage and got taken advantage from. She's too stupid to get on TV. Should stfu and take it as a lesson learned. Next time, she won't even give ears to fools on street trying to sell God know what.

@mercdamadmax You STFU. Youre missing the point. Does that look like an ipad to you? its home made for gods sakes. I think you truly believe thats a real stolen ipad. lol. if it were a real stolen ipad and she had LOOKED AT IT FIRST, she would be walking away with a hell of a deal.

@meanmiguel You misread what I said, read again. In no moment I start talking about you. All the line I refer to her being a stupid woman to get her face on TV so we all now know how stupid and dumb she really is. Bottom line is, she knew that for it to be that low of a price, it had to be an unlawfully product. She got what she deserved.

@mercdamadmax I read you right the first time. She got what she deserved bc she didnt look at it first not bc she was trying to buy something stolen. Thats the problem w your logic. She made two mistakes. 1 trying to buy something stolen and 2 not looking at it first. Her consequences are directly attributable to number 2 not #1. If she really got what she deserved for trying to buy stolen goods like you believe, she would have gotten reprimanded by the law. You've mis-associated cause and effecMore..t. Another way to look at it is if it was real, you couldnt say she got what she deserved. So her consequences according to your logic are based on the item being real or not, as opposed to her actions.Less..

"I would never do anybody like that." Yeah, you would. The only way you'll get an iPad for $200 is if it's stolen. Buying property stolen from someone is "doing somebody like that."
In other news, she also got ripped off on her eyeglasses, which have no lenses in them.
